The image depicts the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (Altar of the Fatherland) in Rome, Italy, under a clear blue sky. The multi-tiered structure, constructed of white marble, dominates the upper two-thirds of the frame. Architectural features include numerous columns, a prominent pediment, and various statuary, including a large equestrian statue and chariots atop the highest visible section. In the mid-ground, a tall flagpole prominently displays the Italian flag (green, white, red vertical stripes), surmounted by an eagle finial. The flagpole is positioned centrally relative to the monument's lower levels. The foreground consists of a grassy slope, light green in color, rising towards the monument's base. A low, decorative metal fence with arched segments separates the grass from a dirt and gravel path in the immediate foreground. Long, distinct shadows from the fence and the monument extend across the path and the grass, indicating a low sun angle from the right, with a bright sun flare visible in the upper right corner of the sky. On the grassy slope to the left, two human figures are observed walking uphill: one taller individual (adult) followed by a shorter individual (child). Both cast long shadows. Additional smaller figures, appearing as dark silhouettes, are visible on the lower terraces and stairs of the monument itself, indicating the presence of other individuals. The overall scene is brightly illuminated, suggesting clear weather conditions.
